MINT CHOCOLATE PUDDING COOKIES
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies made with pudding mix, mint extract & chocolate chips. Lovely cookie recipe perfect for those who love mint chip ice cream!
Course: Cookies, Dessert
Cuisine: American
Keyword: mint chocolate chip cookies
Servings: 3 dozen
Author: Butter With A Side of Bread
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter softened (1 stick)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 small box instant vanilla pudding mix 3.4 oz
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp mint extract
- 3 drops blue coloring + 10-15 drops green coloring
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips*
Instructions
-
Cream together sugar and butter. Add egg, sour cream and pudding mix. In a small bowl, combine flour, salt & baking soda. Incorporate flour mixture into the pudding mixture and mix until well combined. Add mint extract and food coloring until desired color is achieved.
-
Add in chocolate chips. *I used 3/4 cup chocolate chunks, 3/4 cup regular chocolate chips and 1/2 cup Andes baking bits. Any combination is wonderful, but note that while the Andes mint baking pieces add an incredible flavor, they kind of disappear in the cookies. So add them in addition to the 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips, if you opt to put them in!
-
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet.
-
Bake at 375 for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and enjoy!
These Mint Cookie Fudge Cups are made with a delicious mint cookie filled with a creamy thick fudge filling!

I topped the cookie cups with some Andes Mint baking chips and I couldn’t believe how quickly these little treats disappeared! See the recipe for Mint Cookie Fudge Cups here.
Mint Oreo Pudding Cookies are absolutely amazing! Several years ago, I began making these Cookies and Cream Cookies that have Oreo Pudding in the recipe and they have been one of my favorite cookies ever since. I was ready to make them a few days ago and decided to make a mint version since I had some Mint Oreos in the cupboard. Plus, it’s getting close to St. Patrick’s Day and I’m sure I will need to make a green treat at some point in the near future! I just added a little bit of mint and food coloring to my original recipe and the results did not disappoint at all. See the recipe for Mint Oreo Pudding Cookies here.

You do have to give yourself a day to make them just to allow all of the layers to set, but each layer only takes a few minutes to make so it’s not as hard as it may seem! See the recipe for Rainbow Jello Parfaits here.

It’s my favorite flavor combination so I love making mint chocolate desserts for the holidays. This recipe couldn’t be much easier! I used my recipe for Tiger Butter as inspiration. It’s a simple swirled chocolate confection that’s not a fudge but yet not a bark either. The Mint Chocolates are soft, like fudge, but much thinner, which makes them easy to eat as they’re not overly rich. They’re the perfect addition to your neighbor gift plates, as they’re so pretty. One bite of these little treats and you’re sold- they taste just like Andes mints. See the recipe for Mint Cookie Fudge Cups here.

I saw this fun idea for Pretzel Shamrocks and knew I had to make them!

They were easy to make and I love how festive (and tasty!) they are. Enjoy! See the recipe for Shamrock Pretzels here.

I dug up a recipe I posted years ago on my other blog because it’s too good not to share. These Mint Brownies are killer. The brownie recipe itself is amazing but once you add the two types of layered frosting… heavens they’re good! You can cheat and use boxed brownie mix (just don’t tell me about it) and a tub o’ chocolate frosting from the store, but you must, must, must make the mint frosting exactly as stated. It is amazing. Life changing. Ok, maybe not exactly life changing, but it sure does make this brownie special. See the recipe for The Best Mint Brownies here.
